Thiers Issard - Singing Hollowed Razor 1196, Round Point, 6/8"

Expertly forged from 100% carbon steel, the Thiers-Issard 1196 Singing Hollow Ground Razor showcases the renowned 275 blade profile—one of the brand’s signature designs known for its exceptional balance and performance. The 6/8" blade is satin-polished on both sides, delivering a sleek finish and outstanding sharpness. Its round nose offers safety and precision, while anti-slip jimps on the lower side of the tang provide a secure, confident grip for every shave.

A distinctive black electro-chemical mark graces the blade, and the tang proudly displays the THIERS-ISSARD™ signature along with the 1196™ hollow reference—signifying the finest grind and thinnest blade in the range. These “singing” razors are completely hollowed, producing a unique, resonant sound when stropped—a hallmark of perfect sharpness and expert craftsmanship cherished by wet shaving enthusiasts.

Presented in an elegant black soft calf leather pouch, this razor is as refined in presentation as it is in performance. Perfect for those who appreciate the art of shaving and the legacy of French blade-making excellence, the 1196 Singing Hollow Ground Razor with the 275 profile is versatile for all uses and represents the pinnacle of traditional straight razor design.

Always thoroughly dry our razors after use and ensure that they are free from moisture (blade and handle) when storing them. Indeed, our blades are made from 100 % carbon steel which is the best quality steel but does rust if not kept dry.

For occasional use, the blade should be covered with vaseline.

All Thiers Issard razors are shave-ready.

All razors are packed in a leather pouch and in a printed "THIERS-ISSARD" white cardboard box with instructions for use.

Made in France.
